Accrington Web - View Single Post - Old Map of Accy

Well, as far as I am concerned, have long been interested in "Old Accy & District" and have spent hours in the Local Studies Dept at the Library. Arising out of this I think we can take it for granted that "Accrington House" was demolished in 1889 (Library Records) and that it was on the site of present day top-block of Oswald Street. That block or terrace was built in 1891 ( info from a friend who lives there). I am convinced that the East Section of the Map we have been discussing is dated correctly although I have misgivings about the West section. Will be researching one particular aspect of the West Section as soon as possible.
